I would suggest a little more than half a cup on each side, fill both sides to the maximum amount possible, fill with your filling, do not twist as it does nothing, you use the long tube handle to compress the roll together. These steps have worked wonders for me when i make my version of sushi.
1. I really like that shirt 2a. "Lube the shaft" "Latch it shut" "Call me Grace" lmao great content. I feel like Emmy would be hilarious to hang out with
Savion Jin S.Coups call me creepy but I believe that shirt is mossimo brand from target (cause I work at target and folded those shirts a million times 😂)
Emmy is literally the only youtuber (to me) that handles sponsors and ads in a charming way that actually makes the collab seem sincere and interesting. And giving thanks to the actual company for wanting to support the channel truly shows the character of her, incredibly humble and adorable. Love it!
I have one of these (mine came in the Sushezi box) and it's fab! I definitely put more than 1-2 a cup in each side though, I press it in very firmly right to the ends and then it's nicely compacted and you get nice tight little rolls :) I love it. I don't oil mine, I just use a little water.
Thanks for posting this. I recently bought a Sushezi, and went to use it tonight, only to find that, like you found, the instructions are all in French. I was able to use it after watching your instructions, but I much prefer using the bamboo mats instead. One tip I can give you about cleaning the Sushezi, is that you can do what I did, and just toss it into the garbage instead of cleaning it. I won't miss it at all.
Honestly nobody should care if you're being sponsored we all gotta make a living, we should all be here to support your channel and your charming self no matter what. Love your channel Emmy such a great thing to view online. Immaculate in descriptive details towards the taste of the items you provided us to view. Again not hating on you just telling those who want to hate to back off.
This is the first video I see from Emmy and I already like it. Your videos are so crisply focused, perfectly exposed and framed, with very clear sound...just very professional. Nice editing too. I like how you rolled with the misshaps and your humor just seems to come out naturally. The video was very entertaining while being informative (the review part).
Chrispone I wanna see Emmy star in a cheerful FPS game involving (food) fighting with (culinary) weaponry. Splatoon Emmy edition~~~her voice taunts would be so adorable
I love you Emmy! You're so calming and sweet. I like to watch you before bed because you make me laugh but also make me calm. You also don't make a big deal out of things. Love you so much and I bet you'll get a million subscribers.
Mine came in a box with instructions. Build is good, but those clamps that close it and the ones in the middle are made to snap apart for cleaning. I didn't use a specified amount of rice and mine were much more tightly compressed. I filled it up with rice to both ends and then put the filling in the entire length also. The shaft on mine also has a line that you should compress to before pushing it out. If you had filled yours all the way to the end with more rice, and compressed it to that line before removing the end cap, you would have produced a very solid roll. First time I used it I ended up with rice overhanging the Nori, so on the next one I pushed it out onto the wide side of the Nori. When you cut this in half, you end up with what Australians call a "hand roll". They sell them all over the place down under and you do hold it in your hand to eat it if you don't want to slice it into individual pieces. I expected a Tekka Maki (cone shaped) hand roll the first time I ordered one. After that I knew what they meant. I enjoyed it that way Mine works very well, and I typically put it in the top rack of the dishwasher (top rack dishwasher safe) for cleaning. My biggest complaint was that it used a LOT of rice. I still do the hand rolled maki unless I have lots of rice. Then I'll pull the rice bazooka out and have at it!
I don't believe that the product shown during the video is one through the sponsor, since they deal in gift sets. So I'd imagine she gets paid perfectly fine :)
But to answer your question: if the reviewed product was sponsored than usually no, you dont get paid unless its a positive review. Unless she is VERY FIRM in denying that she will do paid reviews, which she isnt. So take every sponsored review with a huge grain of salt.
I think you can get a better compression if you push the plunger after spinning it and before you take the cap off. And then take the cap off and plung it out. Not sure but it seems like it would help in my head.
Hey Emmy, I got the "real" Sushezi for Christmas last year, and it's still a bit flimsy/annoying to use, especially when it comes to getting the hinges connecting the chamber halves to interlock - they come out of join very easily, and are fiddly to put back in place. Otherwise it's a pretty okay quality item. It even came with a little recipe printout with recipes for walnut fudge rolls, ground mince patties, different biscuits, chocolate "salami" (... yeah, might have to lube the shaft for that one too), and ginger-nut log. BTW, the booklet says not to put long pieces of anything into the chamber, as that'll lead to bad compression in the far end of the chamber, which is what I think happened with your maki roll -- but then again, most maki rolls are made with long pieces of veg et cetera! Bit bizarre, and counterintuitive. Even the images of the info pamphlet features someone making a roll with long strips of ingredients. :D
Emmy, you're commentary made me laugh so hard! Its wonderful to see your personality shine through in those moments, and it makes me so happy to be a long time subscriber to your brilliant content.
What I love about your videos is the way you speak articulately and softly. You have a good sense of humor as well! Great gadget & fruit reviews too!! :3
Well. I died and so did pretty much everybody else! Took the words outta my mouth. This was an Emmy exclusive to cherish. Hysterically funny Emmy! Love your vids! PS I don't see anyone mentioning the tiny bit of irony re:french fake and not a good build of a supposedly Asian gadget(?) We buy from Wish and candy from Japan and lots of ramen and stuff here. Anyone who buys from Wish knows there are MANY much cheaper "knockoffs" of American-Japanese-French-German etc etc etc products. It is fun to see that other countries do the same thing! Please NO ONE be offended! Just making an amusing-imho-and enlightening observation. NOT trying to insult or dumb anyone/where down!Thanks Emmy. This made my boring headache filled day better for sure.😈🍱💐✌😇
Hi you did everything correct except after you turned the plunger 5 times you are supposed to push the rod which will compress together to make it tighter ... no need to oil :) I love mine
I bought one on Amazon that came in a box. I guess I have the original, it a little bit more stable. Just compact it more by pressing it down. I think it works ok and would by it again. Washing it is not a big deal to me. For a beginner it gives much better results as the bamboo mat for sure.
I use the bazooka regularly. I can produce 15-20 rolls in under 1 hour from cooking rice to sushi roll. The secret to a tight sushi roll is to press the shaft to compress the rice. The ability to indulge at the drop of a hat and save time is attractive to me.
After turning the knob, you're supposed to push the shaft in to help compress the stuff in the tube. This will remove any air gaps in the roll. Then take the end cap off and push roll out. It will be a lot firmer than the one you made.
as much as i dislike sushi rolls (i prefer nigiri or just sashimi, dont care for extra stuff masking the flavor of the fish, just my taste tho) i seriously want one of these for some reason? it looks so cool. also this is one of your funniest videos, Emmy, i freaking love it.
I have one because I've never had success using a mat so for those who can't manage making rolls the traditional way its helpful. Yes it is flimsy but always snaps back together and can be thrown in the dishwasher!
So glad to have found your channel! The mixture of humor and realistic evaluations used are excellent. I think I’m going to have to binge-watch your vids👍🏼
I have been using a different type of Makisushi maker. Mine is made of plexiglass, which forms a rectangular channel. First you layer Nori into the channel, then put layer of rice. Next comes your filling, and then more rice. There is a matching plexiglass piece it presses ingredients together. And then you have a nice squared makisushi. I think mine cost about $10 at a local pharmacy.
I have one of these and they are quite good but take a bit of practice; you can also roll it out on a bamboo sheet if you want and roll/compress to a size tha suits you as the roll coming out of the bazooka is bit big. Just as a pointer I find Emmy delightful and some of her comments arousingly provocative :)
I never leave comments, but your videos are my favorite way to make me feel better and this video was hilarious and I love how much your personality has been shining lately and your different voice inflections are great. You always make my day so much better when you post
My extended family loves sushi but it's quite expensive to go out for it when you've got 6-10 adults and 7 kids to feed. We do DIY sushi parties fairly regularly, and have one of these (and several other "make sushi easy!" gadgets) at our disposal. We generally just stick with the mats. 😛 My biggest complaint about the Sushi Bazooka was the size of rolls--when you use it you're stuck with one size (diameter) and it's quite large. A single roll is easily a whole serving, so if you want to serve a variety, you'd better have a lot of guests, or a huge appetite. It also ends up being way too much rice for single-filling maki, like kappa (cucumber) or tuna. My sister-in-law happily uses it to make avocado rolls to send with her kids for school lunch, which she says it's perfect for.
I love making sushi, esp as being vegan it is not always easy to find much variety in local restaurants. I started off using a bamboo mat and still do if Im making for guests, but if Im just making for myself I do what I call sandwich (or lazy!) sushi. I pur a layer of the rice on a nori sheet, then filling, another layer of rice and another nori sheet. Totally unauthentic and less pretty, but quick and easy and tastes just as good!
Once you use it a few more times it is easier - like anything I guess. I keep the cap on and then compress the roll a bit tighter. I enjoy it. Got one for the younger twins and they have so much fun. They were 7 at first and now 9. They made dinner last weekend. We like ours.
We picked up an original from a Thrift shop for a couple of bucks. It was boxed, came with the instructions and we have used it for years. It's built very well out of a sturdy high density plastic.
I have this, when I twist the shaft I compress the rice until it hits the cap so it's nice and solid. you can unclip pretty much everything to make washing easier. it takes some practice though
The official one is much better. The official one has "Sushezi" molded into the plastic on the bottom. If you order from someplace like Amazon and the description says "Sushezi", but it doesn't have that, send it back! These take a few times to get the right amount of rice and pressure, but after that they make pretty nice rolls. They don't make anything better, just easier. The extra control you get from a mat can make it tricky for a beginner. This is for someone that doesn't want to learn.
For $20 most kits include that contraption, as well as, the bamboo mat and other misc items. Combining that rice roll (from the contraption), then wrap it with the bamboo mat... you have a great sushi roll - for us beginners anyway.
Epecially if using white sugar in the vinegar blend (for the rice), heat it on medium heat until the sugar fully dissolves (but don't scorch it; no high heat). Love y'all;
It works great. Important make a grove for filling. Rice must be pressed into bazooka. After its closed great idea to leave it in fridge for 20-30 minutes. Its ready to shoot on Nori seewed sheet. Knife should be run under cold watter after each slice. Its a sticky rice, goes without saying. You didn't press rice enough. Its your fault. I love my bazooka.
Emmy, you are one of the few RUclipsrs whose sponsored content doesn't put me off. Always very classy and it never takes over the whole video. Keep up the great work.
OMG EMMY! Where has all this personality come from? If this is you everyday, please keep it because I was literally dying. Who knew mommy Emmy was this fun!! I mean, more fun than her usual Emmy-taste-testing-videos.
wow I've been following you from before you had 10,000 followers and I'm so happy to see that your so close to a million. your videos are awesome and you deserve it
Your videos are always so cute and you've got the sweetest voice - you really should consider making a cooking show or something for culinarily adventurous kids.
If you twisted it a bit more than the five times until you can feel it pushing against the cap you can compact it very well and it will be a tight roll. I love this thing
I got one and like she said it's really flimsy and cheap but the sushi is pretty good, one tip: Buy it on amazon! (its better quality) and I love you Emmy
We got this and it works GREAT! Your sushi was loose because you only filled it 3/4 of the way. Look at the video and you'll see that the last couple of inches had no rice or filling, so when you compressed the rice, it was loose. Also, buy the kit - the whole kit - at Walmart for $20. You didn't use this product right Emmy - I have no stake in your opinion but its a shame that you didn't use it right and then suggested that people "skip it".
Seems like you might get better results if you use more rice to fill the bazooka, or after screwing the plunger in you could pack it down a little before taking the end cap off.
Please do a sushi rolling demo with the bamboo mat. I received a rolling mat as a gift but have not yet tried to use it. I'm sure you have found the most efficient method. Love your videos!
Use the bazooka in a vertical position with the cap resting on the table top, and after you turn the knob it's 5 turns use the plunger to gently tamp it down. That will give you a much more solid roll. :)
Call me Grace, latch it shut, and then lube the shaft!
Oh my.
Memorandom XDDDDDD I'M DEAD.
The "Call me Grace" went over my head.
So many memorable moments in this video, I love it XD
Aqua Krys I don't get that either :/
I would suggest a little more than half a cup on each side, fill both sides to the maximum amount possible, fill with your filling, do not twist as it does nothing, you use the long tube handle to compress the roll together. These steps have worked wonders for me when i make my version of sushi.
Yep is about the volume of rice..AND the compression. Five twists does nada.
Twisting it gets it out of the threads. If you didn't twist it you couldn't push it. And yes she needed more rice. Lubing the shaft lol
@@daleedwards9102 the twisting is only for like 2 seconds at the most. It doesn’t go the whole shafts length.
1. I really like that shirt
2a. "Lube the shaft" "Latch it shut" "Call me Grace" lmao great content. I feel like Emmy would be hilarious to hang out with
Savion Jin S.Coups call me creepy but I believe that shirt is mossimo brand from target (cause I work at target and folded those shirts a million times 😂)
Toaster Ooo thanks. I love striped shirts
I'm not sure what call me grace means :/
Shes a fun mother!
Josue Espinosa graceful (not)
Lube the shaft? Lmfaoooo😭
The face she made right after she said it though loooool She knew what she was doing!
🤣🤣😱
Ohhh... I once had a dream...
😂😂
When she said that I lost it. Lol

Oh, Emmy, I love all the innuendos in this video!!! lmao. "lube the shaft" *blankly stares at camera while doing it*
Jessica Kalinowski *nods knowingly*
“Blankly stare” lmao!

"Now we have a bazooka, locked and loaded."
Haha you're showing more and more of your funny personality in your videos lately, it's great! :')))
BatteryPoweredSwag that part was so funny
BatteryPoweredSwag e
I got an original one for 5$ off of amazon. It came in the original box with instructions. Good build, enjoyed this review!
Me too, but my instructions were in French and looked like they came out of a cheap printer.
"We should probably lube the shaft a little bit" *looks at camera intently* Oh emmy I love you 😂💕
Sean Flatten I was drinking when she said that. I almost spat it out because I wasn't expecting it XD
More meme fodder from our sweet Emmy! 🥰
Just the term "Sushi Bazooka" totally inappropriate to my dirty sense of humor.
Lube that shaft Emmy!!!!Lube it now!!! Yes, yes, yes
When I heard her say that, I prematurely bazooka'd my sushi....
Honestly nobody should care if you're being sponsored we all gotta make a living, we should all be here to support your channel and your charming self no matter what.

Lube. The. Shaft.
I'm dead. I didn't expect that from you! Love you more now.
Beth Rutter same i strted dying laughing because of that😂😂
Beth Rutter I was waiting for comments on that.

You were wayyy goofier than usual in this video! Loved it!
This is the first video I see from Emmy and I already like it. Your videos are so crisply focused, perfectly exposed and framed, with very clear sound...just very professional. Nice editing too. I like how you rolled with the misshaps and your humor just seems to come out naturally. The video was very entertaining while being informative (the review part).
Lube that Shaft 😏😏😂
Hahahahahahhahahha
This whole episode was a total gem.
Anyone love sassy Emmy in this video!! Hahaha
Chrispone "Locked and loaded!" Hehehe
Chrispone I wanna see Emmy star in a cheerful FPS game involving (food) fighting with (culinary) weaponry. Splatoon Emmy edition~~~her voice taunts would be so adorable
ThatCreepy Fellow Like chex quest?
Chrispone SASSY EMMY IS LYFE

I love you Emmy! You're so calming and sweet. I like to watch you before bed because you make me laugh but also make me calm. You also don't make a big deal out of things. Love you so much and I bet you'll get a million subscribers.
Emma Holmes agreed, always before bed to relax and smile.
3:17 whyyyy do you have to be so cute??! 😂😂😂😂
Alia Saqina Do you know what "Call me Grace" is referring to??? *I need to know!!!!*😥😥
Tiffany Ekwonna she's being sarcastic about being graceful since she dropped it basically saying call her grace cause she's so "graceful"
Mine came in a box with instructions. Build is good, but those clamps that close it and the ones in the middle are made to snap apart for cleaning. I didn't use a specified amount of rice and mine were much more tightly compressed. I filled it up with rice to both ends and then put the filling in the entire length also.

😂😂😂digging the sense of humor in this video! So when it's a sponsored video but it's not a good review on a product, do u still get paid?
I don't believe that the product shown during the video is one through the sponsor, since they deal in gift sets. So I'd imagine she gets paid perfectly fine :)
But to answer your question: if the reviewed product was sponsored than usually no, you dont get paid unless its a positive review. Unless she is VERY FIRM in denying that she will do paid reviews, which she isnt. So take every sponsored review with a huge grain of salt.
Latch it shut. Latch it shut. 😂
lube the shaft a little bit :x :x :x LOL
Catalina her face while she did it, lol
This was BY FAR the funniest, most entertaining, and sassiest Emmymade video I have ever seen please keep the sass going I love it so much
lube the shaft emmy you and your dirty jokes make my day
Emmy, I love how much I've seen you grow as a person as I've watched your videos! Your sassy comments make me smile!
"we should probably lube the shaft"
begins to lube he plastic thing while noding awkwardly lmao 😂😂😂😂 dead
Nancy Perez no your not your still alive
Emmy, I have an idea! Once you reach 1 million subs... you should do a reaction video reacting to all of your old videos! 😄❤
"So we should probably lube the shaft a little bit" *Stares into camera and nods head* Omg I love you 😂😂
I think you can get a better compression if you push the plunger after spinning it and before you take the cap off. And then take the cap off and plung it out. Not sure but it seems like it would help in my head.
Emmy's voice is so peaceful.

I just want to say I'm proud of your growth!! I've been watching your videos for a very long time and watching your channel expand is so cool!!
This is my favorite emmy video now :p
Yogensha same the naughtiness is strong in this video 😂😂😂😂😂
I use the bazooka regularly. I can produce 15-20 rolls in under 1 hour from cooking rice to sushi roll. The secret to a tight sushi roll is to press the shaft to compress the rice. The ability to indulge at the drop of a hat and save time is attractive to me.
Where are the water balloons?
After turning the knob, you're supposed to push the shaft in to help compress the stuff in the tube. This will remove any air gaps in the roll. Then take the end cap off and push roll out. It will be a lot firmer than the one you made.
Latch it shut hahaha my favorite part ily 4:05

I have one because I've never had success using a mat so for those who can't manage making rolls the traditional way its helpful. Yes it is flimsy but always snaps back together and can be thrown in the dishwasher!
"Call me grace" HHAHA
Juliana Fernandez Is she referring to a show or the fact that she's not graceful??? *I need to know!!!* 😥😥
Tiffany Ekwonna The fact that she's not graceful, lol
This is my absolute FAVORITE video that you've made so far 💕
Oh my goodness, Listening to Emmy speak naughty about the shaft made me blush!
So glad to have found your channel! The mixture of humor and realistic evaluations used are excellent. I think I’m going to have to binge-watch your vids👍🏼
Oh no, did you get a knock-off?

Seriously, Emmy. The past few videos have shown a sillier side to you and I LOVE IT!
A notification from Emmy makes my sad day better ❤

Neither do I.

As soon as she made the 'lube the shaft' comment I gasped, grabbed my imaginary pearls, and said "Emmy, I didn't know you had it in you!"
Once you use it a few more times it is easier - like anything I guess. I keep the cap on and then compress the roll a bit tighter. I enjoy it. Got one for the younger twins and they have so much fun. They were 7 at first and now 9. They made dinner last weekend. We like ours.

For $20 most kits include that contraption, as well as, the bamboo mat and other misc items. Combining that rice roll (from the contraption), then wrap it with the bamboo mat... you have a great sushi roll - for us beginners anyway.
Epecially if using white sugar in the vinegar blend (for the rice), heat it on medium heat until the sugar fully dissolves (but don't scorch it; no high heat). Love y'all;
It works great. Important make a grove for filling. Rice must be pressed into bazooka. After its closed great idea to leave it in fridge for 20-30 minutes. Its ready to shoot on Nori seewed sheet. Knife should be run under cold watter after each slice. Its a sticky rice, goes without saying.
You didn't press rice enough. Its your fault. I love my bazooka.
Emmy, you are one of the few RUclipsrs whose sponsored content doesn't put me off. Always very classy and it never takes over the whole video. Keep up the great work.
Bahahah I love this! I know you usually keep the silly stuff for the end, but I LOVE the goofy stuff in the entire video :)
OMG EMMY! Where has all this personality come from? If this is you everyday, please keep it because I was literally dying. Who knew mommy Emmy was this fun!! I mean, more fun than her usual Emmy-taste-testing-videos.
wow I've been following you from before you had 10,000 followers and I'm so happy to see that your so close to a million. your videos are awesome and you deserve it
Your videos are always so cute and you've got the sweetest voice - you really should consider making a cooking show or something for culinarily adventurous kids.
when i do my meditation session i put two vids of you and sounds like you are having a calm argument with yourself.... it relaxes me
If you twisted it a bit more than the five times until you can feel it pushing against the cap you can compact it very well and it will be a tight roll. I love this thing
I got one and like she said it's really flimsy and cheap but the sushi is pretty good, one tip: Buy it on amazon! (its better quality) and I love you Emmy
Occasionally I come to your channel and watch some videos but I really have grown on your content, you've earned a new subscriber.👍🏼
We got this and it works GREAT! Your sushi was loose because you only filled it 3/4 of the way. Look at the video and you'll see that the last couple of inches had no rice or filling, so when you compressed the rice, it was loose. Also, buy the kit - the whole kit - at Walmart for $20. You didn't use this product right Emmy - I have no stake in your opinion but its a shame that you didn't use it right and then suggested that people "skip it".
I see your sense of humor in all of your videos.
Great job.
Love the things you do here.
Grace is so funny today hahahahahah I LOVE THISSSS
Seems like you might get better results if you use more rice to fill the bazooka, or after screwing the plunger in you could pack it down a little before taking the end cap off.
Emmy had such a quirk this episode! Love it!
Emmy I love you in this video! So silly and sassy! xoxo! Cant wait until you hit a million!
You need your own show! I could see you interviewing people while doing your thing. Enjoy your videos.
Please do a sushi rolling demo with the bamboo mat. I received a rolling mat as a gift but have not yet tried to use it. I'm sure you have found the most efficient method. Love your videos!
Use the bazooka in a vertical position with the cap resting on the table top, and after you turn the knob it's 5 turns use the plunger to gently tamp it down. That will give you a much more solid roll. :)
